+scherben Thanks pal :)

+scherben Its unrelated to these highlights but Do you remember the short lived BBC Live Friday night games! I can remember Utd Playing Spurs, Arsenal and QPR. Me being a schoolboy at the time it seemed so Futuristic we were so starved of live football.....

mcbrando Yeah, I remember 'em. West Ham away in March '85 was another. There was a compensation fund for clubs whose attendance were affected. We got £50,000 for our two Fridays home games; both of which we won 4-2. Personally, I preferred the 3pm Saturday kick offs. Still do.

+scherben How times have changed, I remember the big 5 Clubs in the mid to late 1980`s Struggling to negotiate TV Deals with the BBC/ITV worth a couple of million Pounds, I think the Latest Sky deal is worth 7 Billion over 3 years!

mcbrando To think our best ever start in 85/86 was missed by telly. There seemed to be an ambivalence to televised football until Sky started offering huge sums.
